Cybersecurity Solutions for Successful Families

Protecting Your Wealth Through Education and Awareness.

Why Cybersecurity Matters for Affluent Families

Today’s wealth is increasingly digital. Personally identifiable information (PII), financial records, and even property titles are stored and exchanged online. With the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence, risks to privacy and security are escalating—making affluent families prime targets. At Three Cord True Wealth Management, we recognize that financial planning is incomplete without addressing these realities. While we do not provide cybersecurity services directly, we educate, guide, and connect our clients with trusted third-party solutions so that their digital lives are as well-protected as their financial portfolios.

Cyber Security Threats to Your Wealth

Escalating cyber threats

From phishing to dark web exposure, wealthy families are increasingly at risk.

Overwhelming complexity

Managing multiple devices, accounts, and systems creates vulnerabilities.

Family transitions

Inheritance, aging parents, or sudden disability can leave digital lives disorganized and exposed.

Regulatory pressure

Financial professionals and families alike face rising compliance standards.

Three Cord’s Educational Approach

We blend client education, vetted resources, and internal best practices into a framework designed to give families clarity and confidence.

Client Awareness & Education

We provide ongoing education to help families recognize threats before they become problems. Topics include:

Recognizing and avoiding phishing emails and texts
Safe practices for social media and online sharing
Identifying and reporting financial scams
Understanding risks of public Wi-Fi and how to use VPNs safely

Three Cord’s Internal Cybersecurity Best Practices

While we don’t provide cybersecurity services to clients directly, we hold ourselves to rigorous internal standards—because trust begins with us.

Real-World Insight

Affluent families often assume their bank, custodian, or advisor “has cybersecurity covered.” In reality, personal devices, unsecured emails, or weak password practices frequently create the biggest vulnerabilities. By prioritizing awareness and trusted third-party solutions, Three Cord helps families close these gaps before they become costly mistakes.

Real Results, Real People

We have been working with Tod and Nick, also with Mandy and the tax team for more than 25 years. Tod has been responsive, professional and enormously helpful to us as our financial needs have changed over the years. Their offices offer a full range of services, which we have taken advantage of: financial planning, tax services, business valuation, etc. And through all that Tod has “managed” our account and coordinated the various services. There has never been an issue, large or small, where his advice hasn’t been given promptly and skillfully.
During our entire time (25+ years) of working with Tod Arbutina and his comprehensive staff that we have always found each and every one of them to be friendly, efficient, and extremely competent. Furthermore, they have always acted with a reassuringly high level of integrity and professionalism that has always given us a great deal of confidence in their work.
We recommend Three Cord True Wealth Management most highly.

Long-term client, Pittsburgh

I’ve had the pleasure of working with my advisor, Vasili, at Three Cord Wealth Management, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Beyond simply managing our investments, Vasili takes the time to truly understand what matters most to me and my family. Together, we mapped out a clear and realistic plan to fund my children’s future education. He’s also guided me through various life insurance options, always diving deep into the details to ensure he has full conviction in his recommendations. That level of thoroughness and integrity really stands out. What I appreciate most is how proactive he is. From scenario planning around retirement to exploring how potential business ventures could impact my long-term financial picture, Vasili doesn’t just react—he anticipates.
